Notis

Check latest Formsite results from a DM

Make a private submission check a single request: Notis retrieves the latest results and reports what matters.

Trigger

Direct Message Received

Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.

Action

Get Form Results

This tool retrieves the latest form results from a specified formsite form. it uses the get https://{server}.formsite.com/api/v2/results/latest endpoint to fetch results independently, handling required parameters such as form id, limit, page, and sort direction without referring to external resource ids.

Why this helps

Remembering to check a specific form after a DM request creates another loose end to track.

  • Check the latest responses in the context of a private request.
  • Reduce the chance of forgetting to follow up on submissions.
  • Let Notis summarize retrieved results for easier review.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Formsite to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation and name it for the result check.
  • 3Write one plain-language prompt asking Notis to identify the form in a DM, retrieve its latest results, and summarize relevant responses.
  • 4Select Direct Message Received as the trigger and set a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real request about an existing form.

Questions about this workflow

Can it send a notification to respondents?

No. This workflow reads recent Formsite results and can summarize them in response to the DM.

Does it require a DM to identify the form?

Yes. Notis needs enough information in the request to identify the intended form.
